BOOK LAUNCH!

My first book, True Identity was launched earlier this month, but I've held off on making noise about it till this week because it will be featured for three days on FamilyLife Today (listen here).

This book is written for teens to help them process the important issues they are facing in this stage of life - and to help them find their true identity in Christ above all else. It's based on concepts rom Passport2Identity with more stories from my life and experiences to help drive home the ideas. It's a great book to give a teen you know to help open doors for important conversations.

Can you do one or more of the following to help get the word out?

1. Buy a copy of the book and give it to a teen you know.

2. Write a review of the book on Amazon (more reviews help raise the profile of the book so it will be recommended to others).

3. Share the FamilyLife Today programs on Facebook or other social media.

4. If you use goodreads, add it to one of your shelves, even if you don't plan to read it. That also raises the profile of the book.

I've heard a number of people who have already read the book say, "I wish I would have had something like this when I was a teen." The point of making noise about the book is to help teens center their identity in Christ and focus their lives on Him. Colossians 3:2-3 is the theme verse for the book: "Set you minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God." The hope of this book is summed up in that verse. The more one knows the truth of being "hidden with Christ," the more they are able to then "set your minds on things that are above."
